Enough is Enough

Here’s my two cents on yesterday ... I like Josh Cribbs, don’t get me wrong, but let’s be honest here: He’s a great special teamer and that’s it!

Sure, he can play third receiver occasionally, but he in no way should be a major part of our offensive game plan. Let alone, should he ever — EVER — play quarterback. It’s gimmicky and is in no way productive to the development of the rest of the offense. It reminds me of the 2000 season when we kept putting Kevin Johnson at QB because, “he played QB in college.”

Who cares? Dorsey played QB in college too and, guess what, he’s also played QB in the NFL. Let him play QB. As little as he’s had to practice with the first team, Cribbs has had even less time. This team still has three games left after yesterday, so even if it seemed hopeless against the Titans, why not just let Dorsey get some real work with the first team offense?

A trick play is great once in a while, but to keep using the gimmick offense is stupid. It wreaks of desperation, which may be true for this team, but it’s embarrassing (which, I admit, is also true of this team).

Let’s play like professionals, for crying out loud, instead of a bunch of kids in some park playing a game of pick-up flag football (which, by the way, is how our defense tackles). Even if we lose every game remaining on the schedule, we should at least play with some dignity.

Unless Romeo, in his infinite wisdom, has decided that Josh Cribbs is the new starting QB, he shouldn't be playing QB.

The Titans have a great defense. Our inept offense was powerless against them. But, that's no reason to throw in the towel and play foolishly. This team is getting more and more ridiculous as the season goes on. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if the Browns are routed by the hapless Bengals on Dec. 20.
